Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon B700 is significantly lighter (95g ) than the Sony HX400V which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Nikon Coolpix B700 nor Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX400V provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon B700 and Sony HX400V's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony HX400V features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Nikon B700 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
